I was very excited to be visiting such a historic fortress that even had seen use during modern times. However I was let down by the way it has been maintained and visual impact of its current use. There are actually 3 forts you can visit on Grenada, with Fort Frederick being the most well maintained in it's original condition.... More

My husband and I visited Grenada during a cruise and we decided to take a short tour of the island with a taxi driver. Stopped at the fort and spent maybe 30 minutes there. Admission to the fort is under 5.00 which includes a tour guide who explains the history of it. For me it was very average, nothing much... More

As part of a taxi-cab tour, our guide stopped here for about 15 minutes. We walked around the small 'fort' (everything is outside/above ground... there is no 'fort' to explore) to the upper most part, which has a great 360" view of the Island's southern most end. After 10 minutes of looking at views, we used the toilets and were... More

Just want to say special thanks to Clarance (Banga) and Alice 'in wonderland' as they are called locally. These two ladies show the warmth of Grenada and were so friendly, while taking time out to give up helpful information about the Forts. The fee is very small $3 EC- please give the tour guide (Alice- from wonderland) a tip because... More
